FUN BUSY AT WORK What could Senior Tonia Lloyd, Nidal Tabshi. and Saad Magdcsi be discussing so seriously at a senior class meeting? Class business? (More likely it's homework from an ear- lier class!)

Extra-Curricular Activities Enlived The School Experience While scholastics are the most em- phasized parts of high school, the extra-curricular activities one par- ticipate in are also very important. The groups and clubs you joined helped you discover more about yourself. They may have helped you to decide what type of a career to pursue after graduation. Then again, maybe they were just for fun, to pass time from class to class, but even high school students need to relax between homework assignments! The activities gave you a sense of belonging, the feeling that you did play a part at Dieruffr. The clubs gave you a sense of responsibility, whether you ran the group or attend- ed all of the meetings, practices, and rehearsals. You might have learned a certain skill, explored a new field, and formed some new ideas. Hope- fully, you met some new people and made a few good friends. Most likely, the group wasn't al- ways fun. It took a lot of dedication and effort on your part. Those morn- ings when you tore yourself out of bed to be at an early morning prac- tice are haunting! What about all the times you stayed late after school to get the job done, even if no one else could? But it was all worth it. The end result, whether it was a paper or a play or a song, or just the feeling you get from knowing that you made it through, made you glad you got in- volved! For whether you learned anything or not, the real reason for extra-curricular fun was to trans- form your high school years into something very special to you! m rn •» » ■ ft an ii «ns. 4tfs • . m m BORED OR CONCENTRATING?

Or is junior Dale Dougherty just telling Mike Santa D Amore what he wants for Christmas? Will he get what he wants? Only if he starts helping out in the stage crew

Years Of The Effort Put Into Sports Is Worth Every Minute Of It Anyone who, for any reason whatsoever, has been involved in a sport realizes the dedication and hard work it requires. At Dieruff the athletic department- the coaches, all the trainers, the managers, and most importantly, the athletes themselves all put forth an outstanding effort to make the Husky teams the best that they could possibly be. While each individual team's record may not have been perfect, the fact that each of the team members did his or her best and tried his hardest certainly made all of the teams winners! The players not only gained experience in their chosen sports, but they made friends, and learned to work well together, on a team. The feeling of accomplishment might very well have made ev- THE HUSKIES ARE READY FOR ACTION Dieruff's freshman football team is ready to take some serious action against the gridders of Northampton during an exciting game this year.

The gruelling practices, the painful injuries, the intense competition, and obviously, losing a game, meet, or match were only some of the hard parts to learn from. Sometimes it was incredibly dif- ficult to pick up after a fall and just keep on going. But even though the hard times were terrible, the good times were terrific. Scoring the winning points, or helping someone who did. Beating the team that every- one, even you, was sure you were going to lose to.
